The idea from agent campaign group Target (Travel Agents Reform Group Engaged Together) sees BDMs and supplier reps given temporary workstations to allow them to catch up on emails and calls.
Target is looking to create a list of agencies happy to be involved in the scheme for operator sales staff to be able to utilise while they are on the road.
Target co-founder and Westoe Travel boss Graeme Brett said: “We’ve been having discussions with a number of BDMs and sales representatives from different tour operators and we’re trying to help them out.
“Whilst out visiting agents it can often be very difficult for them to be able reply to phone messages and emails on the go.”
Agents interested in taking part should email targetagents2021@gmail.com
